Story troubles please help

Hey guys, so I for some reason can’t get a book overlay in my story because it keeps on saying the overlay doesn’t exist even though I have done the same thing before and it worked. So can someone tell me the thing you put in the story to do the overlay?

I just went over it again and added the word @add before the book name and it wasn’t working.

yes I did, if you can figure out what I did wrong I would love it but if you can’t I could figure something else out for that character to do. I would just love to know for mainly now but also the future!

(This is the story after I fixed the mistake I made I just don’t know what I did wrong.

Try this-
Before cut to zone 2,
@add Text Book Open Navy Blue to JAYDEN

And at line 553,
@JAYDEN is read_sit_book_neutral_loop

To go into more detail and explanation as to why your coding wasn’t working:

BLUE BOOK isn’t an actual prop name. I’m assuming that’s the name of your overlay? Props and overlays are 2 different things. Props are objects that get added to a character. There’s a list of available props on the side of your script under the animations list.

Also, you can’t combine commands on the same line as an “add/remove prop” command. The prop command needs to be on its own line.
